		<description><![CDATA[An important theme recently among my clients has been the vacillation between hypervigilance and collapse. How do these two states live in your body? Hypervigilance is often a state of anxiety, of production, of doing &#8211; being early or on time, accomplishing tasks for a deadline, making lists in your head of all the tasks <a href="http://holisticgardner.com/blog/2010/10/hypervigilance-vs-collapse/#more-242'" class="more-link">more &#187;</a>]]></description>

Although I started out my journey as a nutrition educator and holistic health counselor, I soon realized that most people&#8217;s struggles with food did not come from what <a href="http://holisticgardner.com/blog/2010/10/various-foods-to-nourish-the-soul/#more-207'" class="more-link">more &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was debating what to cover this month, and what repeatedly kept getting my attention was the practice of journaling. Journaling is a great tool in conjunction with psychotherapy. Why? Because there are a lot of thoughts floating around in your head.

My New York aunt insists that in New York, the word 'holistic' would not get me very far - there's this perception that the translation of 'holistic' equals California crunchy-oat-bread-with-sprouts-and-avocado-eating, Birkenstocks-wearing, lefty-communist protesters... Or some such comparison. Maybe they think we're all driving around in '68 VW Bugs hugging trees and singing Kumbaya.]]></description>
